Leisure
Karen loves to vacation in Utah and in 2008 spent the third year in a row at the magnificent Sorrel River Ranch in Moab.

Here Karen is pictured with 2006 co-traveler Linda Tatten on the Colorado River that runs aside the Ranch. They kayaked for the first time down the Colorado River with class 2 rapids.  One photo shows them battling the rapids and the other resting after a job well done! Read more about the trip in Linda’s blog, The Travel Blog. (In 2007, they returned to Moab right after peak snow melt and successfully kayaked the post-melt class 3 rapids!)

Karen is an avid No Limit Hold’em fan and player. She has played at the tables in Las Vegas and Connecticut, and used to play (with free chips) online. She belongs to a local league and is one of the top 50 players. She periodically participates in local and multi-state tournaments.
